30ot6 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Looking for combat reports on the 505th's drop in Sicily. I can find various stuff desribing what happened in general, but no detailed maps or pictures. For instance, I know that I-3/505 landed on it's drop zone and took its objective, which was some pillboxes at a road junction(Got that from http://www.505rct.org/sicily.asp). Sounds like it could be a decent scenario, but one would need a lot more information before making an accurate scenario out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Paulus Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hmmm ... surely hard to find. Ask the webmaster for a detailed account of the battle. I you need a map, just tell me the location or the nearest city and I think I can send you something useful. Paulus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Bolt Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Paratrooper!: The Saga of U.S. Army and Marine Parachute and Glider Combat Troops During World War II by Devlin. ISBN: 0312596529 covers allot of the para operations in WWII. I own it, but haven't read it, so I can’t say for certain on Sicily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
